## What it is
RAMAnimatedTabBarController is a Swift library that adds customizable animations to iOS tab bar items and icons. It integrates with UIKit via storyboard or nib by subclassing UITabBarController and UITabBarItem.

## Use cases
- add animations to iOS tab bar icons
- make tab bar item transitions more engaging in an iOS app
- customize UITabBarItem animations in Swift
- improve bottom navigation UX in a mobile app
- plug animated tab bar into storyboard-based iOS project

## When to choose
- building an iOS app with a UIKit tab bar that needs animated icons
- you want a drop-in subclass of UITabBarController with multiple preset animations
- you prefer a lightweight MIT-licensed Swift library installable via CocoaPods, Carthage, or SPM

## When to avoid
- building with SwiftUI rather than UIKit tab bars
- you need actively maintained dependencies - the latest release is from 2022
- targeting below iOS 9 or needing extensive customization beyond the provided animation classes
